Definition: The word 'Anthoxanthum' means 'stained with blood'. It's a term in biblical texts, specifically used to describe something that was soiled or stained due to human activity.
Here are its meanings:
1.
In Genesis 25:37
: "And he said unto her, Behold, I have made thee a woman of no reputation." This refers to an act of unfaithfulness by the husband.
2.
Exodus 19:6
: "And ye shall be stoned with the blood of man and beast, and upon all flesh" (KJV). This is used in connection with the shedding of human blood for the sins of other people's children or households.
In both these passages, the woman was made to bear a charge against her husband because she had an unclean spirit. She was called "an Anthoxanthum," meaning she had been infested with it, indicating that she was cursed and would have to bear the consequences of her sin.
It's important to note that while this term is used in religious texts, it often has a social or moral connotation. In secular literature, it might be more accurately described as "stained" or "marked" rather than "bleached."
